A compact, high-impact serif display with squared proportions and strongly chamfered corners. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear in feel, interrupted by crisp bevels and small, flared wedge-like terminals that read as stylized serifs. Curves are largely squared off into faceted counters (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals), creating a consistent octagonal rhythm. The lowercase follows the same blocky construction with short extenders and sturdy, rectangular bowls; the overall texture is dense with tight interior counters and emphatic verticals.
Best suited to display settings where bold, compact letterforms need to hold attention—posters, headlines, storefront or event signage, and logo wordmarks. Its dense color and faceted counters favor larger sizes, where the decorative corner work and flared terminals remain clear and intentional.
The faceted, chiseled construction and flared terminals evoke vintage signage traditions—part collegiate lettering, part Old West poster, with a faint gothic edge. It feels assertive and ceremonial, designed to project authority and rugged heritage rather than neutrality.
Likely intended as a modern, graphic take on traditional sign-painting and collegiate/heritage lettering, emphasizing a carved, beveled silhouette and strong vertical presence for maximum impact in short-form text.
The design leans on repeated chamfers and stepped diagonals to keep forms uniform across the set, which helps large sizes look cohesive and carved. Numerals mirror the same squared geometry, supporting strong headline consistency in branding and signage contexts.
